CARE INFORMATION

Be sure the range or built-in oven is cool before removing parts for cleaning. After removing any part, be sure it is correctly replaced.

OVEN DOOR

There are two types of oven doors-lift off and nonlift off. The lift off door is identified by the two hinge slots located behind the hinge arms on the door.

To remove lift off door: Open door to the “stop” position (opened about 4-inches) and grasp doorwith both hands at sides of the door. Lift up evenly, at the same angle, until the door clears the hinges.

OVEN

The oven(s) will have one of two types of finishes-either

porcelain-enamel or the Continuous Cleaning Oven finish. The porcelain-lined oven is dark gray in color with a smooth glass-like textured surface. The Continuous Cleaning finish is a dark charcoal gray colorwith a rough textured surface.

See page 18 for additional information on the Continuous Cleaning Oven finish.

To clean a porcelain-lined oven: Wipe acid stains im- mediately with a dry clbth. Clean oven walls, bottom and door with hot soapy water. Stubborn soil can be removed with cleansing powders, plastic pads or a paste of baking soda and water. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive scouring pads for they will scratch the surface. Commercial oven cleaners can be used but follow the manufacturer’s directions.

To replace door: Hold door in the same position and insert hinge openings on hinge arms. (Hinge arms are spring mounted and will slam shut against the range if accidentally hit with the dool.) Lower door evenly, at the same angle as hinge, until door is seated in the. original position.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to open or close door from the “stop” position until tlie door is completely seated on the hinges.

COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS

When using oven cleaners, carefully follow manu- facturer’s directions. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands for oven cleaners are caustic.

Use oven cleaners on the porcelain-lined oven only. Never use cleaners on the oven burner, surface burners, end panels, exterior finishes, trim parts or on the Con- tinuous Cleaning Oven finish. These parts will be per- manently damaged by the cleaner.

After using the oven cleaner, rinse oven interior and thermostat sensing device, located at the top of the oven, with a mild solution of vinegar and water.

OVEN DOOR WINDOW

Occasionally, you may find that the window in the oven door may fog due to moisture condensing in the oven. This is especially common in humid weather or when cooking foods high in moisture. Opening the oven door a few inches during the first few minutes of preheating or cooking will allow moist air to escape and prevent the window from fogging.
